[Workshop] Voltage & Voltage Drop; Loads & Switches; Jumpers & Cheaters on Saturday, April 13th @10 AM Eastern
Son of Samurai posted an event in Tech Training
untilWho: All tech members at Appliantology: Professional Appliantologists, Senior Appliantology Fellows, Legacy Techs, and Master Samurai Tech Alumni at Appliantology and all students enrolled at the Master Samurai Tech Academy. What: We’re going to talk about some basic electric circuit topics and troubleshooting techniques that many techs are a little shaky on: Voltage vs. voltage drop- commonly misunderstood and misused but understanding the distinction is crucial for accurately troubleshooting AC circuits. Most of the time, we’re troubleshooting circuits composed of loads and switches so if you learn how to troubleshoot just two things- loads and switches- you can troubleshoot virtually any appliance circuit you encounter. Jumper wires and cheater cords- essential components in any troubleshooting arsenal- we’ll look at when, how, and why to use each. Mastering basic concepts like these goes a long way to becoming a competent, consistent troubleshooter. When you have a solid grasp of these foundational concepts, schematics stop being a mystery and become an invaluable diagnostic tool. When: Saturday, April 13th, 2019, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time (adjust your time zone accordingly) Where: All of our web meetings are powered by Join.me. For the connection details, see below.

[Workshop] Electric Circuits Review with Samsung Dryer and GE Oven Case Studies, Friday, March 29 @4:30 PM Eastern
Son of Samurai posted an event in Tech Training
untilWho: All tech members at Appliantology: Professional Appliantologists, Senior Appliantology Fellows, Legacy Techs, and Master Samurai Tech Alumni at Appliantology and all students enrolled at the Master Samurai Tech Academy. What: Many techs have trouble interpreting a schematic diagram and understanding how to use it for troubleshooting. In this webinar, we'll use as case studies a Samsung electric dryer and a GE electric oven with 6 elements and 8 relays. If time permits, we'll review AC voltage difference and how L1 and L2 work together to create a 240 VAC voltage DIFFERENCE (key word there) between two points to make electrons move in the circuit.

[Workshop] Using Timer Charts and Schematics to Troubleshoot, Sunday, December 9 @3PM ET
Son of Samurai posted an event in Tech Training
untilWho: All tech members at Appliantology: Professional Appliantologists, Senior Appliantology Fellows, Legacy Techs, and Master Samurai Tech Alumni at Appliantology What: Being able to analyze a schematic and see how a circuit is supposed to function is real work that all goes on inside our heads when we're troubleshooting an electrical problem. Even though customers don't see anything happening when we do this, schematic analysis is the indispensable, high skill part of our job as techs. In this workshop, we're going to use the timing chart and schematic on the tech sheet to troubleshoot a no-agitate problem on an old skool Whirlpool direct drive washer. Even techs who have repaired thousands of these machines can get tripped up on this one and start guessing or, worse, blindly changing parts. By using the timing chart and schematic together, we will determine exactly how the motor circuit is supposed to operate. And if you know how a circuit is supposed to work, you can always determine exactly what's wrong in these simple circuits-- no guesswork, no parts changing. We'll use the Ten Step Tango™ Troubleshooting procedure to develop a troubleshooting strategy and working hypothesis along with specific electrical tests to test our hypothesis. When: Sunday, December 9, 2018, at 3PM Eastern Time (adjust your time zone accordingly) Where: All of our web meetings are powered by Join.me. For the connection details, see below.

Gas Dryer Ignition Systems Webinar Recording
Samurai Appliance Repair Man posted a blog entry in Samurai Appliance Repair Man's Blog
We went on a journey of wonder and discovery in last night's webinar and demystified those vexing gas dryer ignition systems. We learned how the two-stage gas valve works; how it is controlled by those three valve coils, a radiant sensor, and ignitor. We also learned what a "split coil" is and how it works. We also had an encounter with technical gremlins that attempted to thwart the Appliantological gospel but they were quickly slain. The recording also includes a good roll of the video I tried to play during the webinar. After a little TLC from the Nads o' Samurai (my two sons) who edited the recordings and came up with this Final Cut edition, Professional Appliantologist members and Master Samurai Tech Academy students who couldn't join us last night for the live webinar can share in the adventure at their convenience. Professional Appliantologist members may watch the webinar recording here. Master Samurai Tech Academy students may watch here. -

Webinar Recording for Office Hours, March 6, 2017
Samurai Appliance Repair Man posted a blog entry in Samurai Appliance Repair Man's Blog
We talked about lots of good stuff last night at the Office Hours webinar. I started off with a brief presentation on Neutral and Ground in AC circuits, explaining how they are different and each serves different purposes in AC circuits. Then we applied what we learned about power supplies in that presentation to decipher some crappy instructions in a service bulletin for a Whirlpool inverter microwave where we had to figure out how to test the digital data input to the inverter. We then spring boarded off that to talk about digital data communications in appliances. Even though the example we used was a Samsung dishwasher, the principles we discussed are common to ALL appliances, regardless of brand or model. While we were talking about digital data communications, it seemed like a good flow to get into a discussion about "loading down" in DC power supplies and the troubleshooting technique we would use to test for this. We also talked about why loading down is not an issue affecting AC loads. But AC loads and switches have their own special way of failing that we as techs need to be aware of: failing under load. So we talked about why we don't trust ohms testing for AC loads and switches. Finally, we talked about how a high resistance connection (less than 5 ohms!) at a thermostat in an electric dryer can cause long dry times by robbing wattage from the heating element. We worked through a simple Ohm's Law calculation to show how this happens. This little exercise also illustrated the value of having the Ohm's Law pie chart readily accessible in the photo album of your phone so you don't have to rely on memory because it plays tricks on you!

The Master Samurai Tech Ten-Step Tango for Troubleshooting Appliances
Samurai Appliance Repair Man posted a blog entry in Samurai Appliance Repair Man's Blog
Troubleshooting is the big missing skill among appliance techs today. This is the skill that distinguishes parts changing monkeys (PCMs) from Master Samurai Techs. It's the difference between a drunken street brawler making monkey jabs versus a trained MMA fighter making kill shots. PCMs will thrash about wildly, monkey-jabbing at components hoping to get lucky and usually end up getting their asses kicked. Anyone can monkey jab and the sad truth is that this is the dominant practice of the appliance repair trade today. It doesn't have to be that way. Anyone who wants to can learn how to make kill strikes like a Master Samurai Tech. Master Samurai Techs don't rely on luck. They have a plan of attack, a strategy. They deploy precision kill strikes that have been honed in the Dojo-- training at the Master Samurai Tech Academy and in the Office Hours webinars-- and systematically dominate the appliance. Whether you're troubleshooting a simple GE dryer with just a mechanical timer or a Sub-Zero refrigerator with a microcomputer board, multiple sub boards and two different compressor technologies, the troubleshooting procedure is the same. That's the Ten-Step Tango: a structured, disciplined procedure for solving problems. In our Office Hours webinars, we've begun a series of workshops on the Ten-Step Tango, applying it to different troubleshooting scenarios on real-world appliances. We started off by introducing the Ten-Step Tango procedure and then applied it to simple appliances (no control boards, just mechanical controls, like timers). Then, in the next workshop, we kicked it up a notch and troubleshot appliances with multiple control boards, digital communications, hoodoo, voodoo, and all kinda weird stuff. The workshop webinar recordings, along with all the other Office Hours webinar recordings, are available for Professional Appliantologists and Master Samurai Tech Academy students to watch at the links below: Master Samurai Tech Academy Students: http://mastersamuraitech.com/webinar-recordings/ Mr. Appliance® Academy Bundle 1 Students: http://mrappliance.mastersamuraitech.com/appliance-repair-course-support/student-forums/forum/webinar-recordings/ Professional Appliantologists: https://appliantology.org/topic/58003-webinar-recordings-index-page/ The next workshop will be in January 2017 and will be announced here at Appliantology as well as in the MST-Appliantology newsletter. -
